Verstappen before changing teams? Unrest at Red Bull is growing!

Australien - A hurricane can be seen not only in nature, but also in Formula 1: Max Verstappen seriously consider to leave the successful team Red Bull Racing, although his contract runs until 2028. According to reports from Kosmo , Verstappen is dissatisfied with the handling of his team in the current harassment affair, which affects team boss Christian Horner. A former employee accused Horner "cross -border behavior", but he was relieved of an internal examination. The case is to be negotiated before a British labor court in 2026, which contributes to additional tensions in the team. At the same time, the four-time world champion has concerns about the stagnant development of the Red Bull car, which recently lagged behind the more light-footed cars of the competition.

Although Verstappen crowned the past season with a fourth World Cup title, an uncertain future is emerging for the upcoming opening race in Australia on March 16. His doubts about a competitive vehicle are taking on more and more shape and could have serious consequences for the team if the situation should not improve. The Dutch superstar is considering a way to switch to Aston Martin, a team that has increasingly invested in a promising future, among other things through the commitment of the star designer Adrian Newey and an engine partner change to Honda. Red Bull himself plans to develop independently draft lines from 2026 - a decision that could bring some uncertainties.

Verstappen and its options

according to Formula1.com Has already in his previous career 63 Grand-Prix victories run in and is on a unique path. The conversations for his future are becoming increasingly intense, especially since his contract includes performance -related exit clauses. One of these clauses could become active if Verstappen should not lead the World Championship. In 2024 there were rumors about a sensational offer by Aston Martin in the amount of one billion euros, which was, however, rejected by the team. Despite all the speculation, one thing seems certain: The 2025 season will continue to contest for Red Bull.
